Chapter 11: What are the Seven Spirits and Three Souls?
The old Taoist priest was excited outside the house, and then walked into the house with an excited face.
"Master Lai, what's wrong with you?" Li Yunlong looked at the old Taoist's strange expression and movements, his heart was full of curiosity.
"It's nothing, I'm glad I did. Lai Laodao laughed and opened the topic, "Go and prepare some wine for me, I'm so happy today, I want to drink a few big bowls of it." ”
"Okay, I'll go get you ready. Li Yunlong looked at Lao Dao puzzled, hesitated for a moment and then went out of the room to get the wine.
"Little doll, you're not from our dynasty, are you?" Seeing Master Li come out of the room, the old Taoist priest walked to the bedside, looked at the little boy with a puzzled face and asked.
"Master, do you know?" Li Ge on the bed heard this, and his puzzled little face suddenly became shocked, and he stared at the old man with those watery eyes without blinking.
"I know, I don't know. The old Taoist priest smiled meaningfully, sat on the side of Li Ge's bed and said, "My master once said that I would accept an apprentice when I was old, and the life of his disciple is the life of the world, that is, the life of the world that does not belong to this world. ”
"Master, can you figure it out?" Li Ge heard this, recalling the old man's words just now, and asked, "Then what do you know and don't know?"
"The family teacher once taught me a set of fortune-telling techniques, and I can naturally calculate your fortune-telling figures. Lao Dao looked at Li Ge, whose face was still a little pale, reached out and touched his head and said, "But that's all I can count, as for where you come from and why you came from, I don't know anything." ”
"Are you also a Taoist priest?" the young master of the Li family looked at the white-haired old man in front of him in a daze, and then said, "Do you know the middle-aged uncle surnamed Ai who came to hunt ghosts yesterday?"
"You mean that god stick named Ai Banxian? I don't know. ”
"He's not a god, I saw him stop the ghost and save my life yesterday. ”
"If he wasn't a magic stick, how could he not even be able to suppress a ghost?" the old Taoist priest got up and walked a few steps forward, then suddenly turned his head and asked, "Since you saw that ghost last night, do you know what kind of light that ghost is shining?"
"The ghost, dressed in black, with a reddish glow on it, said it was going to devour my aura. Lige climbed out of bed and took out everything he had seen last night.
"I see, if it's a red ghost, it's understandable that the magic stick can't be lowered. The old Taoist priest replied lightly, and then scolded angrily, "Fart, you are not my Taoist, the aura from there, the ghost thing is to drive away your three souls and seven spirits and seize your body." ”
"Three souls and seven spirits?, do people really have three souls and seven spirits?" Li Ge asked puzzled.
"Of course people have three souls and seven spirits, you little kid know what. Lai Laodao glanced at Li Ge, sat on the chair and said with a serious expression, "Everyone has three souls and seven spirits, the soul is yin and the spirit is yang, and they are called spirits when they are in harmony with each other." The three souls are the heavenly soul, the earth soul and the life soul, and the seven spirits are the heavenly chong, the spiritual wisdom, the qi, the force, the center, the essence and the ying. ”
"I don't understand, I've never heard of it. Li Ge shook his head, touched the back of his head and smirked embarrassedly.
"If you're not a cultivator, you won't understand. The old Taoist priest disagreed, "What I just said is my Taoist people's understanding of the three souls and seven spirits, as for the people of the Buddhist family, the three souls are the same, and they are determined that the seven spirits are the corpse dog, the arrow, the bird yin, the thief swallower, the non-poisonous, the filthy and the smelly lung." ”
After chatting in the room for a while, Li Yunlong and his wife walked into the room with wine and food, and he saw Lai Laodao sitting at the table talking to his son, and laughed, "Master Lai, the wine and food are here, you can eat first." ”
"It's coming, starving me. When Daoist Lai saw the wine and food served, his serious expression changed, like a hungry dog pounced, he directly grabbed the whole chicken in Ding Qiaoqiao's hand and ate it without any scruples.
"Master, slow down. Mrs. Li put the dish on the table lightly and said with a chuckle.
"Don't worry about me, if you are afraid, go and rest first, the ghost will come when you are young, if you are not afraid, stay and watch me collect the ghost." Lai Laodao seemed to have never eaten in eight lifetimes, sitting on the table and nibbling on chicken.
"Master Lai, can we stay and watch you collect ghosts?" Hearing this, Li Yunlong looked at his wife beside him, and said in a panicked voice, "Even if there are really ghosts, we ordinary people should not be able to see them." ”
"You can see it, you can see it, didn't you say that you still have cow tears in your house? Lai Laodao grabbed a chicken leg bone that had eaten the meat, threw it on the ground, picked up a glass of wine on the table, and drank it all with a 'zi~'.
The husband and wife glanced at each other and nodded to each other, and then Li Yunlong walked out of the room, and after a while, he came back with a small bowl of cow tears with an excited face.
After the well-fed old Taoist priest cleaned the wine and food on the table, he raised his neat sleeves and wiped the corners of his mouth stained with oil, walked straight to the door with a chair and sat at the door.
A family of three in the house saw the old man sitting at the door and walked to the door.
"This ghost is also graded. The old Taoist priest leaned on the back of the chair and didn't turn around, staring at the dark garden road. Generally, the ghost spirit body of the newly deceased person will have a layer of gray light on the body, if it does not enter the underworld and return to the world to stay in the yang world, it will be mixed with the turbid qi of the world, this kind of gas is commonly known as resentment, and then the ghost will drill into the spirit body with the resentment, and the gray will become white-yellow-black-red and cyan, when the ghost becomes cyan, it will open the ghost theft, and become a blue ghost cultivation, and the ghost cultivation will become purple after entering a certain realm, which is what the world often calls the ghost fairy. ”
"Master, is the ghost thing I saw last night with a red light very high-level?" Hearing the old Taoist priest's introduction to the ghost, Li Ge asked curiously.
"It's relatively high, but although this red ghost thing is extremely resentful, it is only an unstolen ghost after all, and for me, it can be eliminated with a wave of my hand. Lai Laodao turned his head and smiled proudly.
Hearing the old Taoist's boastful words, Li Ge looked at the Taoist priest in front of him carefully, and couldn't help but shake his head, with the old man's greedy and sloppy appearance just now, he would never believe that this was a master.
"Little guy, do you not believe the words of the old Tao?" Daoist Lai noticed Li Ge's movements, and did not seem to be angry, raised his hand and rubbed his beard, turned around and leaned back in the chair without saying a word.
"Master, what you are talking about, we naturally believe in your ability to invite you to come. Mrs. Li responded to the old man obediently.
"Wash your eyes with cow tears and get ready to watch the play. Lai Laodao looked up at the sky, yawned and said, "The moon is approaching, it should be the time of the child, and the ghost should be coming." ”
Because he had seen the ghost yesterday, although Li Ge was frightened at this time, he was not too afraid, on the other hand, his father and mother, both of them had curiosity and a little panic on their faces.
